Action!!

A few weeks ago, someone I had met sent me a message suggesting that I try out/audition for a role in a.... I'd rather not give too many details because to be honest... I don't know all the details myself! Anyway, I didn't really think much of it because I didn't think that it would be possible anyhow. The money involved... I mean the pay for the job if you are casted was very attractive and my goodness... we all know that I need it very much! Even so, I wasn't so confident in myself and I've never done anything like it. So... I sort of just disregarded it. The topic was brought up again, and again, I was encouraged to give it a shot. I figured it couldn't hurt to try and I have nothing to lose... but I still didn't do anything about it because I was nowhere near a computer (only on my BB) and couldn't submit my pictures and information anyway. She then had asked me if its okay if she submitted a picture of me and my information to the casting agency. Sure... why not?

On Monday evening (when I was at the airport and on my way back to Cali), my information was submitted. By Wednesday morning, I got a call from the casting director asking me to come in to meet with them. I didn't know what to think and honestly wasn't going to because I figured I'd be left disappointed anyway. I had heard that there were auditions held in Long Beach for the same roles, but I didn't make it out to it because I was intimidated at the possible turnout. (Surprisingly, I'm not very competitive when it comes to this) I told her that I wasn't able to make the auditions that day, and she told me that she didn't want me to go to the audition, she wanted me to go to the straight to call back (skip the audition step). Apparently, I was one of the agent's pick that they'd like to meet already. Whoa... ego boost! So... I was scheduled to go to the casting studio on Thursday. Sam and I showed up and after seeing some familiar faces, I realized I was probably told something that everyone else was told (agent's pick... blah blah). I saw that many others had modeling/acting resumes and some even had headshots ready! I had a big purse with my vitamin water and lots of makeup I had used to apply in the car on the way there. HAHA! It was my first audition for anything! I was so nervous and was so close to turning around and going home because dude... competition! Thank goodness Sam told me to just give it a shot since I'm already here. So... I do! We were in a group setting with some other people. I thought I did okay... but would have done a few things differently if I could do it again (for better, of course).

The next morning (Friday morning), I got a call from the casting director letting me know that I have been put "on avail". Apparently, I am one of the top finalists for the part but I haven't been officially booked yet because the agency still had to go over a few things and wanted to see if I was available on the day of the shoot. I'm like... okay... they're probably telling everyone this too! A couple hours later, I got called and was told that I was the top pick and congratulations... I booked the job! WHOA... I thought they were going to say J/K... but they didn't! They wanted me to be in there tomorrow... well, today (Saturday) for a fitting. No can do because I was already on my way to the airport. Thank goodness we were able to work something out for Monday and the shoot is only a couple days later.

I'm so excited, yet so nervous. How I did it? I have no idea... but I just know that I was having fun! Will keep posting about this new adventure of mine and lets see how it all goes! I can't explain how excited I am though... Sam's happy for me too! He gave me a huge hug after the call. Thank goodness for such a loving and supportive Husband!

Wish me luck with everything... I'll try to break a leg! Heck... I'd break an arm if I have to! (don't jinx me)

Gotta wake up soon... good night/morning!!

The Crown!!

As many may already know, my best friend Ranny is competing for the crown... in about 10 hours! She will be running for the Miss Washington USA 2010 pageant! She is a hardworking, intelligent, and beautiful girl who can and will be a great role model for many. She is already an inspiration to those who are lucky to know her. And that is why I am here... to cheer her on and be there during the crowning moments... hopefully to a girl who I know deserves it most! :D So proud of all that she's done and her ambition. We've been through a lot together, but I know its only the beginning!

I should be asleep by now considering the fact that I should be there at the salon to do her makeup by 6am. I'm so excited! I love having beautiful models to work with... it makes my job a lot easier and more pleasant! :D

Back at home!!

I'm back at home!! WAIT... which home? Where is home? Good question!

As I said before, WA will always be my home... but CA is my new home. Its confusing... but I have two homes. Right now, I'm at the WA home.

Decided that my blog shall be updated more often and although it might not be anything too exciting, its nice to have a little outlet. I don't know and don't really care if anyone reads this, so don't be surprised if I'm a little bit too honest for my own good. Let me say this in advance.... oops!

My days have been busy and a little bit crazy. It feels like there are not enough hours in the day. Right now I am up and blogging but really, I should be getting the little sleep that I might be able to squeeze in all weekend.

I just got here a few hours ago. My Sister and Niece picked me up and of course, we had time to squeeze in a few bites. After that, no more junkie food for me! I've been eating really bad lately and I can feel my body feeling more and more gross with every bite. WHY do I do it to myself? I don't do it to myself... the freakin' cheesecakes and cream pies and ice cream cones do it to me. They are the devil... the yummy yummy devil!

I'll be here for a few days... the weekend to be particular. My Husband is in Vegas with the guys. Sometimes I wonder if they just wait/plan/pray for me to go out of town so that they can play with Sam. HAHA... its cool though... I hope they're having a good time. According to Sam's BBM, he misses me already. BS. He's probably loving the craps table more than me. I don't mind... just make the money, honey!

Home...

Washington will always be home to me (its hard to choose one city when really, I'm all over the place and have lived in many different "cities" there... every few miles is a different city, it seems).

I am honored and thankful for Elisa to even considering me to be her MakeUp Artist for her big day. Even more so when she flew me up there for that reason. Weddings are all so different and so fun! I have been on both sides of the situation now and I truly understand the stress and pressure that the Bride and wedding party go through. Its a lot of work and each married couple deserves a nice long vacation right afterward... I guess thats why there's such thing as a honeymoon, right? Anyway... I learn something new everyday and I've learned and taught myself quite a bit at this wedding. One thing is for sure... I need to be more confident with my work. I wish I would have had time to take pictures and focus on the makeup, but I didn't. I didn't sleep for two nights prior so I was pretty out of it. Hehe... more details later, perhaps!

I got to hang out with my Family... that was very important. Yes, I managed to yell at the kids... just like usual. Haha! Love my Parents... I've missed them a lot.

Okay... update more later... much more to say.
